Just spotted on Amazon, the "Limited Edition Super Deluxe" edition of U2-Joshua Tree (not making up the distinction.) Anyone know if this is actually remastered? If so, is it available without the DVD/book/whatever?

It is remastered. Exactly how well is yet to be heard, but apparently quite a bit of work went into it. The super deluxe edition also contains a lot of previously unreleased b-sides etc from that time.

After reading This thread, I don't know if I'm more reluctant to buy a used CD or a "remastered" one. Although I just ordered some Styx, Boston, Foreigner and Supertramp CD's, and a Pink Floyd SACD - All but the Boston was of the remastered variety. We'll see if the dynamic range is noticeably different from the original releases. Scott

I am curious as well, as to how much better the remastered version of Joshua Tree sounds. The guitar in the original CD was really bright but I do love the songs. One remaster that I bought that is fantastic is the 30th anniversary edition of Bob Marley's Exodus. It is by far the best sounding Bob Marley in my collection.

I too would be curious about the Joshua Tree remastered and also thanks for heads up on the Bob Marley remastered Exodus CD David, as another Bob Marley listener I'll certainly have to get this.

OK somebody who actually lives beside a CD store that doesn't suck, please go buy the remastered Joshua Tree and review it for us, please.
Ands, yes I could order it online but somebody would have reviewed it by then.
Man, I'm freakin old. I just had to erase "record store" and replace it with "CD store."
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Tower Records typically comes through for me with some great prices, but I'm wondering if this is the same edition that Ken is referring to ... Josua Tree ... the disc description states '1' disc, I wonder if that is correct? They did not have a 'Limited Edition Super Deluxe' set listed.

Heh... your guess is as good as mine. With that list price, it matches Amazon, but completely beats it on sticker price. Also, it says + DVD, but lists only one disc. Personally, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. I think I'm just going to put the limited edition super deluxe (who thinks of these names?) on my Xmas list.

I think you're about right Ken, Tower is all over the board with this pre-order edition. I'm thinking the set for 25 bucks might be worth a look, it doesn't have the DVD, which I don't particularly care to have anyway but is does state that it's a 2 disc set. Would all of the pre-order 'Remastered' editions be of the same sound quality? I would seem to think so. Tower's Lineup of the Joshua TreeLike I said previously, Tower has come through for me very well in the past without any problems so I wouldn't hesitate buying from them again.

I have always liked U2, but I don’t think I have one CD of theirs that’s recorded with a darn. I’m hesitant to buy any more.
I probably shouldn’t even mention this to you “non-HD” guys….
But….the U2 HD/DVD disk, Rattle and Hum has an excellent audio track. The whole disk (except one song) is HD Black and White, which I found completely infuriating. All the songs are live and they have quite a bit of interviewing in between the tracks.
